AC97002-150B

Antennas RF Overview

The AC97002-150B is a cellular external adhesive bar antenna designed for 5G, 4G, and LTE wideband applications. It features an IP65 ingress protection rating and a compact 35.55mm height. The unit includes a fixed 1.5-meter RG174LL coaxial cable terminating in an Fakra D connector. Gain specifications vary across frequencies, ranging from 3.3dBi to 4dBi, with a maximum power handling capacity of 45W. Mounting options include adhesive or screw methods.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Provides omni-directional radiation suitable for horizontal or vertical installation on metal and non-metal surfaces
• Offers excellent multi-band coverage optimized for common cellular frequencies including Cat-M1/LTE-M and NB-IoT
• Features an IP65 rated enclosure for reliable outdoor or harsh environment operation
• Utilizes a low-profile 35mm design with easy peel-and-stick adhesive backing

Antennas RF Applications

• Global 5G/4G/3G/2G cellular networks
• Cellular IoT applications such as Cat-M1/LTE-M and Narrowband IoT
• Smart metering and utility infrastructure
• Asset tracking devices and vending machines

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' indicates the IP65 rating and 1.5m cable length configuration. Confirm that the Fakra D termination matches the device interface requirements. Ensure the mounting surface allows for proper adhesive bonding or screw attachment. Check local regulatory compliance for the intended frequency bands. Validate environmental conditions against the IP65 specification.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, weather-resistant solution is required for indoor or outdoor cellular connectivity. The fixed cable simplifies integration where space constraints prevent rotating connectors. Consider the 45W power limit for high-power transmitter environments. The omnidirectional pattern ensures consistent signal reception regardless of orientation. Ideal for retrofitting existing enclosures with limited depth.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the AC97002 series of cellular bar antennas from The Antenna Company. The series offers various cable lengths and protection ratings, with the '-150B' variant specifically denoting the 1.5-meter cable and IP65 sealed construction. It complements other accessories like the AC91007 range extender kit for specialized smart meter deployments.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacements must match the Fakra D termination, 1.5m cable length, and IP65 rating. Verify gain and frequency coverage compatibility before substitution.
